Re: Beating ISU

I agree, however if the Hawks keeps shooting 12% from beyond the arc they're not going to beat anyone decent. They got by SD by overpowering the paint. iSu doesn't have a great inside game so if the Hawks can at least shoot 30% from 3 they'll have a chance to win. Woodbury needs to try and stay out of foul trouble. He did a good job last night and would of came back in if it was a close game. They're a different team when he's on the court.

Re: Beating ISU

I just hope Iowa can win. Seriously Iowa needs something to silence the ISU posters/local media, etc... All that ever seems on TV/Radio in Iowa is how ISU is on the way up and Iowa is still a step behind. They need to win big like ISU did last year. If they do win, I agree it will be a good win come end of the regular season and if this Iowa team has a good enough record to be considered on the bubble for the NCAA tourney.

Exactly, we need a momentum changer. All of the focus is on the clownz and we really do need to keep pace with their rise in popularity and talent lately.

And it will be a big booster since ISU has a good chance at dancing again this year.

Re: Beating ISU

Losing on a neutral court to Wichita State and on the road to Virginia Tech, who are both undefeated, is not going to be the reason Iowa's bubble bursts. If it bursts at all.

It is too early to tell just how good or bad those two losses are; the thing is nobody would be talking about them as good or bad wins right now if Iowa had just done the job and won. Everyone would just be saying we'll see how good or bad the wins were come postseason.

VT could tank in league and WSU could finish as low as fifth.

My point is neither of those losses will be a Campbell, we know that. It's pretty safe to say that @VT and a loss to Witchita in Cancun won't be under Iowa's bad loss category on Selection Sunday.

Re: Beating ISU

Its not that Iowa's losses were bad, but more missed opportunities to build a resume.

Iowa has a fantastic chance to win this. I cant remember the last time ISU faced an Iowa team that had 6 guys returning that played significant minutes. This Iowa team has experience, and more talent than they have had in a while.
